I'm very interested to hear how you find this mower, especially on steep terrain.
We live on steep land, conventional petrol powered zero-turns are notorious here for being dangerous on the hilly slippery sections, I don't completely understand why but it is something to do with the hydrostatic transmissions letting the machine run away downhill. A neighbour has one of the Cub Cadet zero turns with steering wheel and says it is much safer than his old Dixon.
If the electric Zero Turns have done away with the hydrostatic trans, then the run away shouldn't be an issue any more, right?
We currently have an Australian made Greenfield tractor-type ride on mower, 25 Hp Briggs engine, 34 inch single spindle deck. They are quite different to the American mowers that are sold here, most of which have a poor reputation under our harsh conditions. A lot of Australian grasses are tough, like cutting wire, and we Aussies tend to have less manicured lawns, more like rough pasture than fine lawn. It means our mowers take a beating and Aussie mowers like Greenfield are built tough. Ours is one of the last "proper" Greenfields before they were taken over by a rival company, but I'd love an electric ride-on mower, if it were up to the job.
